Application

Poly(styrene) is a hydrophobic polymer used in many applications. The end group functionality contains a carboxylic acid (COOH) as well as the 2-(Dodecylthiocarbonothioylthio)-2-methylpropionic acid RAFT agent moiety. This will allow for additional polymerization to generate a diblock copolymer. This RAFT agent is especially suited for the polymerization of styrene; acrylate and acrylamide monomers.

Functional RAFT Polymers for Biomedical Applications

Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is rapidly moving to the forefront in construction of drug and gene delivery vehicles.

Functional Polymers for Biomedical Applications

Wide range of functional polymers for biomedical applications have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Several classes of polymers including biodegradable polymers, hydrophilic & amphiphilic polymers, and stimuli responsive polymers have been prepared using controlled and directed functionalization via "living" polymerization such as RAFT, ionic and ring opening polymerization. Selected polymers have been studied for their structure-properties relationship. "

Protein- and Peptide- Polymer Conjugates by RAFT Polymerization

The modification of biomacromolecules, such as peptides and proteins, through the attachment of synthetic polymers has led to a new family of highly advanced biomaterials with enhanced properties.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
